This is the now-obscure but once-standard pronunciation of the word "gigawatt", one billion watts. Nowadays it is usually pronounced with a hard "g" as in "gander" and "gold". In neo-Latin languages, still, it's pronounced with a soft "g". So he chose it.

(Fraggle Rock) – See all my reviews Zemeckis's 'Back To The Future' trilogy has been a childhood favourite for a long time. Having revisited it today, brought me to a nostalgic state. The 80's saw a lot of excellent original fun 'young' films like 'Back To The Future' (of course), 'Better Off Dead', 'Heathers', 'The Breakfast Club' etc. What really made these films immensely enjoyable then, and classics today, is that they really reflected what it was like being a young person in the 80s. The movies themselves were well written, well executed, well acted and they cut straight to the point. Back to 'Back To The Future'. This one is sheer fun, even today. There's an incredible energy about it but it still manages to stay an 'innocent' film. The music is very effective. It's slick and follows a steady pace. The special effects are decent. Though people might pick on the plausibility of the time travelling, I think this is really a very minor flaw because it is overall a well written movie and the point was to entertain. Yet, this is not to say that it's brainless entertainment.

I think it cleverly brings forth some interesting themes and I liked how they funnily used some ideas of Oedipus Rex's story. The acting is superb overall. Christopher Lloyd as the over-the-top mad scientist is a laugh riot. Michael J. Fox totally owns Marty McFly with his natural charisma, raw energy and brilliant dialogue delivery. Lea Thompson is cute and vivacious and Crispin Glover is good. 'Back To The Future' is one of the most enjoyable time-travelling classics. It's over 23 years old and it still hasn't gotten old. Sadly, they don't make it like this these days but then again we always can revisit them. That's why they're classics. 81 of 85 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

See more » Connections User Reviews From the present, to the future, back to the present, then back to the past. One great ride! 21 March 2004 | by clydestuff (United States) – See all my reviews When Back to The Future was initially conceived, director and writer Robert Zemeckis and writer Bob Gale had no idea how much notoriety it would eventually achieve, nor of the big box office records it would break. They were happy just to see their project come to fruition. When they wrote the original film, the ending they had written was supposed to be the end of it. Because of it's success, however, and Hollywood being Hollywood, there had to be the inevitable sequels. The problem was that with the original ending, they had painted themselves into a corner as to where they could go with the sequel.

What they finally came up with in Part II, is a film that is every bit as whimsical as the original, yet moves along at a pace that will leave you breathless. For part II the cast is pretty much intact from the original film. The exceptions are Crispin Glover as George McFly has been replaced by Jeffrey Weisman and Claudia Wells has been replaced by Elizabeth Shue as Marty's girlfriend Jennifer. George McFly's role in the sequel is more talked about by other characters than his actual on screen time, and Jennifer's time on screen is quick and brief also (although she has one great scene that takes place in the future)so neither casting change is of any consequence. The original film dealt with how Marty had threatened his own existence because of changes he had accidentally initiated in the year 1955. For Part II, we learn what happens when the interference is of a much larger scale and consequence. As you recall, the original film ended with Doc Brown(Christopher Lloyd)whisking Marty (Michael J. Fox)and Jennifer away with him to the year 2015 to straighten out their kids. For all his harping about messing with historical events, Doc is not above initiating a bit of interference himself.

In their attempt to rescue Marty's future offspring, an aged but still obnoxious Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson), steals the Delorean to transport himself into the past and to bestow upon himself a Sports Almanac book that contains the results of sporting events for years to come. Shortly thereafter, Doc and Marty return to 1985, only to find that not only is Hill Valley not what it used to be, their own lives are in pretty sad shape and far different than what they had been before. And the changes aren't good ones, or as Doc puts it "I can't imagine Hell being much worse." What makes the Back To The Future series so terrific, is that Zemeckis and Gale took the time travel concept, applied a little originality to it, then let their imaginations run wild. In BTTFII, we get a story that moves along like a runaway freight train. Not content to give us what the year 2015 may be truly like, since making such predictions are usually wrong anyway, they decide to let it all hang loose and just have fun with it.

There are holographic theaters, Cafe 80's shops, antique stores that sell dustbusters and other things, skateboards that hover, paying for cab rides with thumbprints, etc. etc. Yet, for all the glossy, multi-colored stores and goofy concepts, we still recognize it as the same old Hill Valley. Something else Zemeckis and Gale do is to take some events from the first film, and replay them in 2015 Hill Valley. Usually, things like this would be seen as the lack of an idea, but in this case its simply Zemeckis having a little fun and letting us in on it. It works perfectly. Likewise, the alternative version of 1985 Hill Valley is an exercise in how far one's imagination can go. Instead of a quaint peaceful town and suburbs, Zemeckis and Gale do everything in their power to give us the equivalent of an opposite. To go into too much detail here would undermine your own viewing experience and give away a bit too much of the plot. Then to add fuel to the fire, we once again revisit Hill Valley in 1955, where things really go berserk what with two Marty's and two Docs inhabiting the same year.

Zemeckis does a great job of cutting new scenes into footage from the original film with different angles and different perspectives of previous seen activities. As for the cast, Fox and Lloyd keep their characters of Marty and Doc on the same entertaining level as before. Fox is also given the chore of playing his nerdy son of the future, Marty as a middle aged man and even his daughter of the future. He is pretty much successful except I do think playing his daughter was a bit much. Lea Thompson, again has the difficult chore of bringing Lorraine Mcfly to us in three different characterizations, and as before handles it admirably. Her 1955 Lorraine will always be her most memorable characterization in these films, but the others are equally well done. As for Thomas F. Wilson as Biff, Biff is biff, no matter how old, how young, or how powerful he may be, and his consistence of performance is also noteworthy. Some have complained about being able to follow Zemeckis and Gale's storyline. If you have seen the first film, you'll have no trouble in that regard. I sure didn't, and for me it was one heck of a comedic thrill ride from beginning to end.

If you don't have fun watching Back To The Part II, then the only thing I can think of is that your as much of a curmudgeon as old Biff from 2015. It's not often that a sequel can live up to it's predecessor, but when it does, and introduces some originality along the way you get my grade, which for Back To The Future is an A. 69 of 81 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes 'Back to the Future': Where Are They Now? - ABC News ABC News Universal/The Kobal Collection It's nearly the future for the stars of "Back to the Future." In the hugely successful 1980s film franchise, director Robert Zemeckis aged his stars, including Michael J. Fox, with makeup and lighting as they traveled in time from 1985 to 1955, back to 1885 and forward to 2015. Now, 28 years after the first film, time has caught up with the stars.

Fox, who played Marty McFly, went on to become a major movie star, but the other actors who played relatives of Marty McFly, the wacky scientist Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown and the bully Biff Tannen, remain recognizable faces. Click through to see where the cast of "Back to the Future" is now. Universal/The Kobal Collection Michael J. Fox Fox, now 51, was in his early 20s and the star of the hit TV series "Family Ties" when he took on the role of Marty McFly. In the film, McFly is accidentally sent back in time from 1985 to 1955, where he meets his future parents in high school. But when he accidentally sparks the romantic interest of his future mother, played by Lea Thompson, he has to work to get his parents to fall in love in order to keep history -- and his future family -- intact. He enlists the help of scientist Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown to get back to 1985.

Fox went on to star in both "Back to the Future" sequels, released in 1989 and 1990, as well as several films, including "Bright Lights, Big City," "Casualties of War" and "Doc Hollywood," before returning to television in another hit series, "Spin City." During the series' third season, Fox announced that he had Parkinson's disease and he left the show after the fourth season to spend more time with family. Since then, he has made guest appearances on several TV shows and written three books while becoming one of the most visible advocates for Parkinson's research. Last August, he signed a deal with NBC to star in a new comedy series based loosely on his life. It's scheduled to air this fall. Universal/The Kobal Collection Crispin Glover At 20, Glover was actually younger than Fox when he was cast to play his father in the first film. Glover played both the 17-year-old and 47-year-old version of his character, George McFly. Though the 48-year-old actor looked oddly buttoned up in black with a scruffy beard and floppy hair during a recent sighting at the Los Angeles airport, his face still appeared youthful.

Glover did not reprise his role in the sequels, "Back to the Future II" and "Back to the Future III," and filed suit against Universal Studios for using his unauthorized likeness after another actor wore prosthetics in order to resemble him. The case was later settled for an undisclosed amount. Glover continued to act in films, including "Charlie's Angels" and Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland." Universal/The Kobal Collection Lea Thompson Thompson played Lorraine Baines McFly in the entire trilogy, while adding the role of Marty's great-great grandmother, Maggie McFly, in "III." Lorraine McFly was Thompson's most famous role, but she also starred in "All the Right Moves" opposite Tom Cruise and "Howard the Duck" opposite Tim Robbins. Her '90s sitcom, "Caroline in the City," was a moderate hit. Since 2011, Thompson, 51, has starred in the ABC Family series "Switched at Birth." Ron Galella/WireImage/Getty Images Elisabeth Shue Oscar-nominated actress Elisabeth Shue took over the role of Marty's girlfriend, Jennifer Parker, in the two sequels after Claudia Wells declined to reprise the role.

Shue, 49, has had a prolific career starring alongside some of Hollywood's biggest names, including Tom Cruise, Sally Field, Robert Downey Jr., Jessica Lange, Nicolas Cage and, most recently, Meryl Streep in "Hope Springs." She is married to film director Davis Guggenheim, who won an Oscar for "Inconvenient Truth," and they have three children. Universal/The Kobal Collection Christopher Lloyd Rising to prominence in the 1980s as Jim Ignatowski on the hit TV series "Taxi," Christopher Lloyd was cast as wacky scientist Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown in all three films. It became his best known role. After the trilogy, Lloyd was cast as Uncle Fester in "The Addams Family" and its sequel, "Addams Family Values." The 74-year-old Emmy-Award-winning actor continues to make frequent guest appearances on television series, lend his voice for animated series and promote his best known character, Doc Brown. Getty Images Thomas Wilson Thomas Wilson became famous playing bully Biff Tannen -- and his grandson Griff Tannen and great-grandfather Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen -- in the "Back to the Future" trilogy.

Wilson, now 53, went on to play Coach Ben Fredricks on NBC's "Freaks and Geeks" for its sole season and to make guest appearances in various TV shows, but he has been unable to escape his most famous role. In fact, he wrote a song about all the questions he is perpetually answering about "Back to the Future." He called it, "Biff's Question Song."

SUBSCRIBE TO OUR MOVIE CHANNELS: Marlene McFly | Futurepedia | Fandom powered by Wikia —From Back to the Future Part II by Craig Shaw Gardner (quote, page 70) Marlene McFly was the daughter of Marty McFly and Jennifer Parker , and sister to Marty Jr. Marlene, like her brother, looked very much like her father. She appeared to like talking to her friends on the video telephone , and seeing her grandparents; she seemed to get along very well with her Grandma Lorraine in particular. Otherwise, little is known about her personality. In the normal timeline, after her brother was tried in a data-court and ended up going to prison for 15 years due to being involved with Griff Tannen 's plan to rob the Hill Valley Payroll Substation , Marlene hatched a plan to break him out of jail. About a week after October 22 , 2015 (the date of the robbery, at 1:38 a.m.), Marlene attempted her plan, but was caught and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Emmett Brown , visiting from 1985 , found out about this and traced everything back to the afternoon of October 21 , when Griff had convinced Marty Jr to join him. Doc headed back to 1985 to pick up Marty and Jennifer, who were just about to take a ride in Marty's new Toyota Hilux 4X4 and brought them to 2015. In the revised timeline of the future, Marty pretended to be his son. By saying "no" to Griff, Marty managed to save his future family — Marty Jr. was now no longer involved in the robbery, and Marlene would not have to break him out of prison. Thus, both McFly siblings were safe. Marlene attended the family dinner on the evening of October 21, where she was seen speaking to someone over her video glasses — possibly one of her friends. She was annoyed when her father asked her to pass the kelp tea , as well as when Douglas J. Needles , her father's co-worker, called a few minutes later, as the McFlys' only having one phone line meant she had to interrupt her conversation.

Contents [ show ] Behind the scenes Marlene's age is disputable — a draft script for Back to the Future Part II says she is 17 in 2015, like her brother, thus putting her year of birth as 1998. However, there is no mention of them being twins, and many fans think that she may be a year or two older than Marty Jr. due to the way she acts. She appears to be within the 20 year range. In the novelization , Marlene became severely depressed after the arrest of her brother and committed suicide. The voice of Marlene was actually provided by voice artiste Grey Griffin, who remained uncredited on-screen. [1] This was achieved by redubbing Michael J. Fox's voice with that of Griffin in post-production.

“To put it bluntly: if you don’t like Back to The Future, it’s difficult to believe that you like films at all.” – Adam Smith, Empire Gotta get back in time! The ingenious time travel comedy Back to the Future is a pitch-perfect combination of sharp satire, warm sentiment and sci-fi excitement. Michael J. Fox plays 1985 teen Marty McFly, whose mentor, Doc Brown (a brilliantly manic Christopher Lloyd), invents a time-tripping DeLorean that takes the kid back to 1955. When he inadvertently gets in the way of his teenage parents’ relationship (and causes his future mother, played by Lea Thompson, to develop a crush on him!), Marty has to figure out how to give his nerdy father (a gloriously odd Crispin Glover) confidence and get them back together to insure his own eventual existence. Funny, touching and suspenseful, this love letter to American pop culture is one of the most purely entertaining films of the 1980s. (Dir. by Robert Zemeckis, 1985, USA, 116 mins., Rated PG) Share Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly?

Your favorite ’80s ‘could’ve been’ stories? – EW.com Pinterest Fans of Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly will want to watch the clip below from the bonus features of the Back to the Future 25th Anniversary Trilogy collection out Oct. 26. We get a peek at what the movie would have looked like if director Robert Zemeckis didn’t realize after five weeks of filming that Eric Stoltz, who was originally cast as the teen time traveler, had different “comedy sensibilities” than himself and his co-writer Bob Gale. As executive producer Steven Spielberg recalls in the clip, Zemeckis showed him some footage and said he didn’t think they were getting the kind of laughs they wanted. Zemeckis had to make what he refers to as the “horrific decision” to recast the role after the studio agreed to let him reshoot those five weeks worth of film. Stoltz, of course, went on to get his big break in 1985’s Mask — and both he and Fox earned Golden Globe nominations that year.

There was this whole cottage industry of young male actors who were, basically, either understudying for or taking roles from Matthew Broderick at the time. And knowing that Fisher was a really tremendously gifted guy, I thought, Oh, I’m in trouble.” Your turn! Show Full Article
